Sorry that it took so long to get back to you. All I know about the mach= ine without digging up some RAM and turning it on is that it is one of the fe= w systems that cannot use the SRM firmware, thus I must use MILO to load a kernel. If you have a floppy boot image that will work with a 2.6 kernel= , please post send it to my E-Mail Address or post a link and I'll download it. My E-Mail address is : right_maple_nut@yahoo.co.uk Many Thanks. Amos H.

If you want to ditch 2.4 kernal support someone will need to modify MILO = to work with 2.6 series kernals. The only reason that I am not currently us= ing Gentoo on my Alpha is that I cannot get a working MILO for current generation kernals. Unfortunately, I do not have the programming skills = to do this myself. If you or anyone else knows where I can get a MILO boot floppy for a 2.6 kernal, as recent a version as possible please, would yo= u please reply to the list if appropriate or directly to me at 'right_maple_nut@yahoo.co.uk'. Thank you in advance to all who reply. I would really like to get my Alp= ha up and running. Signed. Amos H.

Hi all. 2.4 kernels is generally the biggest problem when building new releases and most, if not all should be able to use 2.6 kernels by now. Considering that I'm currently only planning to provide 2.6 support for the 2007.0 release and forward. Please contact me if 2.6 kernels doesn't work on your alpha so we can try to work out any problems in time for next release. Regards, Bryan =D8stergaard PS.
